Zucchini ‘Meat’balls – Gluten & Dairy Free

This is one of those moments where I wish we were standing in my kitchen together. We have just finished making these Zucchini Meatballs and are about to try them for the first time. You, of course, are a little leery about how they are going to taste, but I am impatiently waiting for you to give them a try. You take the first bite. I wait. Then you look at me.

Your eyes widen. A smile slowly appears, and then suddenly, you inhale the rest of the zucchini meatball sub.

Yup, I wish we were having that moment right now because I’m convinced this recipe is THAT good.

Miscommunication Made It Happen

I do most of the grocery shopping in our family, but just about every Friday evening, my husband will take a trip to wally-world by himself. He goes to pick up certain items for himself and quite often will find some good deals on organic veggies to bring home.

Every once and a while though, our communication of what we need and don’t need gets messed up. I will get an overabundance of organic carrots, avocados, or like this past weekend, zucchini. I had already purchased a few at our local market and then he brought some home too.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. It just means that I have to get a little more creative in the kitchen, and when that happens, recipes like this Zucchini Meatballs come together.

The Sauce Is Yours

I’m not including a recipe for the tomato sauce with this because honestly, I don’t have a homemade sauce that is my favorite.

For this recipe, I chose to use a bottle of a favorite Maryland pizza place of ours. Ledo’s Pizza makes the most amazing pizza and the secret, I think is their sauce. Thankfully, one of my best friends lives in MD and will bring me a few bottles when she comes to visit.

So, for this recipe, use whatever sauce is your favorite. It’s all up to you!

Either way, I hope these Zucchini Meatballs become a family favorite in your home as they are now in mine.
